I'm reopening this bug in light of Alberto's recent findings.
Alberto, it would be useful if you could test this on a more recent
system, e.g. impish, and report whether with a new enough version of the
portal, opening/saving files anywhere on the filesystem works.

Title:
[snap] chromium-browser snap cannot upload files outside ~
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10, my Chromium package was converted
to a snap. After figuring out how to manually reconnect the password
manager, and figuring out how to apply CHROMIUM_FLAGS that used to
live in /etc/chromium-browser/default, and noticing that GMail is no
longer able to play a sound when a call comes in, now I see that I am
unable to upload files from anywhere except my home directory!
Connecting chromium:removable-media as in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-
browser/+bug/1832711 does not help with anything else. Is there some
way to let the file upload dialog work on any file my user account has
access to? Or run this snap in --classic mode? If not, this seems like
a critical limitation, as I need this multiple times a day. Switching
to Chrome or Firefox cannot be the only workaround for this, surely?
